Decadent Brownie Cakes

So my stack of magazines on my living room table is growing.  It's a huge stack, I don't think I've ever had a stack so big.  I think maybe I'll just throw them out, but then again I don't want to miss out on anything...like this amazing brownie recipe I found in the March 2011 issue of Shape Magazine!  Gotta love when your allergy and/or disease is posted in a mainstream magazine that is distributed almost everywhere!  It means people are listening.



GF Brownies

Makes 48 Brownies.  Prep time: 20 minutes Total time: 1 hour

1 cup garbanzo-fava bean flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 unsweetened cocoa powder (make sure your brand is gluten-free)
1/4 cup of potato starch (not flour)
2 tbsp. arrowroot
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. xanthan gum (DON'T FORGET THE XANTHAN GUM!!)
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup of vegan chocolate chips (dark chocolate can be vegan-you just have to find the right one).


Preheat oven to 325 degree's.  Coat four 12-cup mini-muffin tins with cooking spray.  (Or coat one 12-cup mini-muffin tin and bake brownies in four batches).  

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, potato starch, arrowroot, baking powder, salt, baking soda and xanthan gum.

Measure out coconut oil (it has a firm texture) and transfer to a cutting board; mince well and add to cocoa mixture.

Add applesauce, vanilla and boiling water; stir until batter is smooth and coconut oil has completely melted.  Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in chocolate chips until well mixed.

Using a melon baller or tsp, scoop a generous dollop of batter into each cup of the prepared mini-muffin tins.  Bake brownies on center rack for 10 minutes, rotating tins 180 degrees after 5 minutes.
For a more fudge-like brownie, bake 8 minutes in total, rotating tins after 4 minutes.  Let brownies rest in pan for 10 minutes before enjoying warm.  To keep fresh , leave brownies in tins and cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain.

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
